B6.129(SJL)-Kcng4tm1.1(cre)Jrs/J

Cat. No.: CEMM-07250728

Common Name: Kcng4Cre
The Kcng4Cre knock-in/knock-out allele was designed to both abolish endogenous gene function and allow the Kcng4 promoter/enhancer regions to direct Cre recombinase expression to type 5 ON bipolar cells (BC5s), as well as subsets of alpha retinal ganglion cells (a-RGC). These mice may be useful for recombining lox-flanked (floxed) alleles in studying photoreceptors and retinal circuitry.

Molecular Note
A Cre recombinase gene with a polyadenylation sequence and an FRT flanked neomycin resistance cassette was targeted to exon 2. Flp-mediated recombination removed the selection cassette.

Breeding Considerations
The donating investigator reports that homozygous and heterozygous mice are viable and fertile with no reported phenotype abnormalities. When maintaining a live colony, heterozygous mice may be bred together, to wildtype mice from the colony or to C57BL/6J inbred mice. Alternatively, homozygous mice may be bred together.
